I am looking for the suitable development kit for interfacing my 'camera sensor' through parallel interface. The board should include HDMI, USB as well to display the image through to end terminal. Which STM32 dev. board I should look into?

Digital camera interface (DCMI) on STM32 MCUs AN5020 lists the parts and using STM32CubeMX you can check each 'board' that has a supported MCU to see if the DCMI pins are free. I did not find any product selector that shows DCMI, MCU or board level, distributor or ST. The STM32MP1 uses MIPI, the sane way of dealing with video.

Probably wrong MCU

What resolution HDMI? A handful of boards can use a DSI to HDMI at low resolutions

Agree with @Tesla - I use the STM32MP157F-DK2 for anything camera/display related where processing has to be displayed in near real time. While the STM32H7 line can work it does not bring a M4 DSP + two A7 to the table to handle the presentation and backend for around the same cost. Really depends on the end design goals.

@Community member​ @KevinA​ Thanks for your comments.

what I mean is that I am looking for a 'ST development board/kit' which can support 'qvga ir camera parallel interface' and provide the HDMI/USB/LAN ports to display as per the further connectivity. what I found out is that DCMI functionality supports the 'camera parallel interface' and few MCUs which supports DCMI from here https://www.arducam.com/stm32-cameras-that-support-dcmi/ since I am new to this, I didn't find out the proper suitable 'development kit' based on these MCUs which meet my requirement and simple in development as well. Please suggest if any. Thanks.

Not sure there's one that ticks all the boxes.

HDMI being particularly problematic, as its not an interface used by any of the boards natively.

You can get DSI to HDMI conversion board. https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/b-lcdad-hdmi1.html

The EVAL series boards have the most functionality, followed by the DISCO boards

Perhaps a $350-400 board
